Generation of copyright files about bloom HOT 11 OPEN

I think this is a very good idea! Also looking very much forward to having correct copyright files!

That really make it easy to have better overview of package copyrights . And that's vital for all of us, having commercial use of ROS in mind.
Looking forward to having it integrated in bloom by @nuclearsandwich 's team.

This is a question for @nuclearsandwich and @cottsay. Having a dependency on that tool might be acceptable, but they would know better.

In general, I support the idea, it's something we always wanted, but never had the resources to make it happen.

Yes this is very important for commercial use cases and doing our due diligence to respect everyone's copyrights involved. Happy to help out if needed!

Since I did not get any confirmation by the maintainers for this but I still think my proposed course of action makes sense, I will start to implement the changes next week. Maybe a concrete proposal in form of a pr is easier to judge.

Thanks for the support @wjwwood. Sorry, I assumed you were the maintainer.
